Sharing of information

 

Any information collected through your initial enquiry is private and confidential and will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent. 

Assessment data will be processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (2018). The information will not be shared with third parties without your permission unless there is a legal requirement to do so.

In respect of Disabled Students’ Allowance specialist support sessions, data will only be shared to carry out this provision with relevant bodies e.g. Department for Education/Student Finance England.

We do not use automatic decision makers or profiling.

Digital information is password protected and any relevant paperwork is kept in a locked cabinet.
